Pro golfer Charley Hoffman announced a partnership with Halo Neuroscience on Tuesday. The neurostimulation company makes the Halo Sport wearable, which is designed to directly stimulate an athlete’s motor cortex with an electrical current and promises to aid in learning movements, and even to increase strength.

Halo Sport looks like a pair of noise cancelling headphones, but has three sets of foam spikes beneath the headband.
